>New Ultra-Low Latency Options For Faster Input Response
We know that gaming isn’t just about raw FPS – gamers also want great image quality and faster response times. So we’re introducing a new Ultra-Low Latency mode that gives gamers the ability to get the low latency feeling of high framerates, without having to compromise their graphics quality settings or resolution to get there.
>The NVIDIA Control Panel has -- for over 10 years -- enabled GeForce gamers to adjust the “Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames”, the number of frames buffered in the render queue. By reducing the number of frames in the render queue, new frames are sent to your GPU sooner, reducing latency and improving responsiveness.

Just bought this. What do you think?

Lastpass or Bitwarden?

Which is /g/'s recommendation?

I've seen mostly positive opinions regarding Bitwarden, mostly due to it being Open Source

What's the point of age controls on websites?

Any kid is going to be smart enough to just lie about this if they really want their deviantart porn
>sign in to continue
There's nothing stopping a child from creating an email address, this just adds an extra step.
"Are you 18 Y/N" would suffice, anything else seems redundant. I figured this might be a legal obligation on sites hosting mature content but no porn sites even bother with it so what gives?

You are now aware of Roko's Basilsk.

You're welcome.
